I have tried a couple of methods for removing the head studs from the case.
Double Nut rarely works. I bought the NAPA stud removal tool, and while it is the perfect tool when you have room, it does not work in such tight areas as our middle head studs. I looked for all kinds of "stud removal tools", but most of them are for broken studs, not for removing studs without 'munging up' the threads. What does everyone else use? A search does not turn up a simple 10mm stud extractor that wont tear up the threads. Stu |

Perhaps not best used in this case but figured I would share.
At work I have a set of vicegrips with nuts welded to the jaws. A hacksaw through the nut and you have yourself a very nice, non-marring set of stud removal/installation tools. I have 1/4-20 through 1"-8. Make a metric set and enjoy. |
